Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Smith-Wade fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Chau Smith-Wade fell into pick No. 203. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In slot 25 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They did well to land Kamren Kinchens in pick 41, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 57 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 88, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Tykee Smith in the Round 3 slot leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick126 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at Round 4, Pick 26 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at the 168th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
A cornerback of that caliber at the 203rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They robbed the room for Christian Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at the Round 7 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
No edge and no loss on Dwight McGlothern in slot 251; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
